Brot & Butter, the Manufactum Deli, Charlottenburg

I finally got round to having lunch at Brot & Butter this weekend (the bakery, deli that is adjacent to Manufactum).

I wanted to avoid eating meat for lunch and didn’t want the pasta so I opted for the odd sounding Mojo Rojo (I kept picturing Austin Powers, didn’t he always go on about his mojo?).  I was told this dish comes from the Canary Islands but having since looked it up, it doesn’t have too much of a relation to the original recipe.  That didn’t stop it from being utterly delicious.  It was a piquant cream cheese, with pureed cooked red peppers folded through it, chunks of sun-dried tomatoes (They’re back! Or maybe here in Berlin, they never left) and fat olive slices.  The cheese was served with pan roasted potatoes, a clump of peppery rocket and a big spoon full of that cucumber salad that Germans do so well, limp and transparent (sounds dodgy, tastes delicious).
